The prevalence of funding-related news in our reporting is not without reason; indeed, there is a constant influx of capital into startups – even in female-led ventures. This investment fuels these nascent businesses, enabling them to operate, innovate, and grow. However, not all companies are equally successful in attracting investors, which can lead to ceasing operations.
Funding female-led ventures has remained a topic of discussion in the startup scene as investment activities in this segment are slow. Nevertheless, recent successes prove that promising startups can raise significant capital.
The spotlight shines the brightest on the trailblazers – startup founders who dare to disrupt, create, and lead. In this edition, we focus on the achievements of female founders who are shaping industries while leaving a mark on the Swiss entrepreneurial scene.
With the annual International Women’s Day, we celebrate female founders’ achievements while drawing attention to the current state of the venture capital landscape and the ecosystem’s undertakings to promote female entrepreneurship.
In the ever-evolving Swiss startup landscape, success stories emerge across various fronts, showcasing the vibrancy and potential of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Remarkably, most of the announcements made in the past weeks have been mainly about life sciences companies, with a few in cleantech, Fintech and other sectors. There are new insights from the latest Swiss Venture Capital Report.
November brought success for female founders: Nouscom raised €67.5M, and other startups secured funding. Awards highlighted impressive achievements.
Female entrepreneurs continue to showcase their innovative prowess with groundbreaking solutions that have captivated juries, attracted investors and even drawn the attention of international news outlets.
September ended on a high note with the Female Innovation Forum, which brought together more than 250 women (and men) to learn, network and support each other in making innovation bigger, better, faster together, as the event’s motto goes.
In the news: startups taking on new approaches to address female-related health issues; startup support organisations to reach out to to access expert support, new markets and investors; new startup launches; and more.
